We hold our heads high, despite the price we have paid, because freedom is priceless.
We respect the dignity and the rights of every man and every nation. The path to a brighter future of the world leads through honest reconciliation of the conflicting interests and not through hatred and bloodshed. To follow that path means to enhance the moral power of the all-embracing idea of human solidarity.
It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail.
The sole and basic source of our strength is the solidarity of workers, peasants and the intelligentsia, the solidarity of the nation, the solidarity of people who seek to live in dignity, truth, and in harmony with their conscience.
Everyone wants a voice in human freedom. There's a fire burning inside all of us.
The world needs leaders of vision instead of leaders on television.
I wondered, as I wondered so often when I was that age, who I was, and what exactly was looking at the face in the mirror. If the face I was looking at wasn't me, and I knew it wasn't, because I would still be me whatever happened to my face, then what was me? And what was watching?
The task of organizing human happiness needs the active cooperation of man and woman: it cannot be relegated to one half of the world.
Passivity is the dragon every woman has to murder in her quest for independence.
The world belongs to the energetic.
